Samba Rudiments - Great Basic Independence Workout!

Been asked quite a bit recently about independence exercises and this is an age-old classic - basic rudiments with the samba/surdo foot pattern.

This starts life as a basic independence exercise but can become a really useful method for coming up with material for fills and solos, with that lovely heartbeat bass drum part underpinning it and giving it a samba-style feel.

Have fun and please let me know if any questions :)

Mike Barnes Drums Amazon Shop

I now have an Amazon store featuring all the gear, books etc you see here in these videos, and that I use myself on gigs/in the studio and recommend. It doesn’t cost any more to buy from this store than it does from regular Amazon, but you’d be supporting this channel by doing so, which would be very much appreciated!:
